At GCP, Leah Hultenschmidt, Editorial Director for Forever, acquired world rights and will edit the series. In North America, the CRASH AND BURN series will be published as simultaneous trade paperback, e-book, and audio editions with the first book releasing in Fall 2018. A mass-market edition will follow in 2019. The CRASH AND BURN trilogy follows the Alpine Hotshots, a diverse group of elite wildfire firefighters who work in the most remote mountains of the U.S., pushed beyond their limits, unafraid to die if not for losing those they love. “Ever since readers first met some of the Hotshots in my Maddox Brothers series, they’ve been asking for more, and I’m so excited to be working with the great team at Forever to bring them a closer look at these fascinating men and women,” McGuire says. “We’ve been longtime fans of Jamie and are thrilled to have her join the GCP and Forever family with this new series,” says Beth deGuzman, VP, Digital and Paperback Publisher for GCP. “Her emotional stories and strong characters are absolutely unforgettable.” Jamie McGuire became an international sensation with her instant bestseller Beautiful Disaster. Her follow-up novel, Walking Disaster, debuted at #1 on the New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists, and she’s been a consistent bestseller ever since. She lives in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, with her husband and three children.
